The challenge of the data in the SRCnetwork

Abstract: At regime, SKAO is expected to provide the researchers with an annual amount of more than 700 hundred PB of data. The advanced analysis of all those data will take place within a network (SRCnet) of so-called SKA Regional Centres, which, under the "Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable" (FAIR) principles, will also take the responsibility for curating and archiving both the Observatory Data Products and user-generated Advanced Data Products, as well as for helping the researchers in the estimate of the needed computational effort at the proposal stage. This contribution describes the status and the perspectives of this international network, with particular emphasis on the INAF-led Italian node which is part of that.
